A. Le Rhone you make excellent points and discuss the situation objectively which is all great to read.
I question though about moving on and urging the AFAP etc.
When this situation has been created and continues to grow now because VIPA is born of people who were not willing to pitch in and assist the AFAP but whinged that the AFAP could not perform miracles for them,
and
AIPA has stated publicly (in a recent Australian) that it can no longer work with the AFAP and will instead turn its attention to VIPA,
and
while both of these are de-unifying acts and are in the present not in the past,
How would you expect people to move on and become united?
I agree that it would be desirable but cannot for the life of me see how it will ever happen while VIPA continues to attempt tp split the
VB pilots and AIPA continues to attempt to lure AFAP members from the QF regionals and Jetstar, instead of working together.
